Just pointing to the absurdity of a "work-from-home" model when there is no home to work from.

The electricity/wi-fi issue is probably among the least of the worries.

Food, cleanliness, waste disposal, police sweeps, personal security, social interaction, education for the kids, etc. Everything is more challenging. And then there's the worry of the job being outsourced overseas.

I hope you landed well.
